eBay: 144v Metro convertible, new conversion

144V electrical system provides good performance that will keep up nicely with traffic. It can go 75 MPH (the legal maximum in Arizona) and can go on the freeway.The controller uses a conventional DC motor without regenerative braking for simplicity and value. It will go between 35 and 50 miles depending on speed, your driving habits and terrain.

Deka Dominator Gel batteries and a long life AGM 12V accessory battery. The good thing about Gel and AGM batteries batteries is that they sealed and do not require ANY periodic maintenance. These batteries usually last 3-5 years depending on how much they are used.




Current bid $5640 USD - reserve not met.
